sorry people been done to death but my car is a cat D so wanted advise on what 'I' should do..

I have a 2007 ed30 in black and am looking to sell I have done the following mods
-R-tech remap with print out at 303bhp
-brand new milltek R32 style exhaust
-R32 rear bumper
-new H&R springs
-H&R 10mm spacers all round with longer bolts lockers
-Daves big brake conversion TT-RS calipers with AP discs and vagbremtechnic bells and spacers
-New helix uprated clutch with single mass flywheel
-Tinted the windows

car has 17000 miles with history, I have done a full service and cambelt on it this year ( VW trained tech)
car has nav as standard and 2 keys and all booklets etc

MY question is should I sell as it is (I want 10k for it) or should I take off the exhaust/bumper/brakes/springs spacers etc and lower the price?

I would sell the mods separately,for some unknown reason people like to buy a standard car and mod it themselves even though it costs a lot more in the long run.
The cat D will have people wanting the car for a lot cheaper as well.

£10k for a cat D just isn't gonna happen mate especially as you can find a straight one for less.
